Spotlights¶
Spotlights are now available to all of the Big Four types, not just BuildingTypes. When attached to a BuildingType, the spotlight still behaves like it used to, just circling around, but when it is attached to a different unit type, such as a VehicleType, it is fixed to shine straight ahead.
Spotlights would cause an Internal Error whenever they were created. The error no longer occurs so spotlights can now be used.
If an object with a spotlight cloaked, the spotlight was removed and would not reappear once the object uncloaked. This doesn’t happen anymore. The spotlight will be invisible while the object is cloaked, deactivated, being warped out, or burrowed, though.
